Hi my name is Crystal and we are expecting twins on November 20th 2008, we are 11 weeks. Yes we are scared. We have three Children , 12, 8, and 4. This is our frist set of twins and any advice on what to do and what not to do also what to expect and what not to worry about is great. Plus just being able to know some one and be able to talk to some one who has been there and done it and or who is going through it. Please any advice is welcome.

Well Claire and Chloe turned one last Friday and we had a party for them on Saturday. It was a great time with lots of friends and family joining in on the fun. The girls got more toys than our living room floor can hold :) Oh yeah, and they got to taste cake for the first time.. hehe

We are expecting twins and need to get a new car that has better safety and room for the four of us.  I was looking at some SUV's such as the Lincoln Navigator with bucket seats in the scond row and a 3rd row of seats for any extra passengers, however the gas mileage is horrible.  Please advice what you think is best bucket seats? vs. bench seat? is a 3rd row of seats necessary? should we be looking at minivans?  This is our first go around please help!  What type of car, SUV, minivan did you have when your twins were born?

Hi,

I am 23 weeks pregnant with two boys.  I am really nervous and anxious because the last time I was pregnant I had a missed miscarriage at 20 weeks (the baby died in the womb with no symptoms).

This time around, I am considered to have a high risk pregnancy for several reasons:
I am 36 years old almost 37.
And because of my past miscarriage.

Two days ago, I got a phone call from my ob-gyn's office.  A nurse called and told me very "matter of factly" that one of my boy's umbilical cord has only two blood vessels instead of three.  I did some research on the internet but I don't know that the information I found was accurate.
Has anyone out there ever experienced this? If so what was the outcome?  I am very worried because I only plan to have these two babies and I want them to be OK.

Thanks
Flora

were having our level II

The girls are both starting to walk now. It feels like they will be going off to college any day now.

I've been trying to post a new blog for a few days now, but things have been a little busy. Hey I have twin daughters, what do you expect?
 
So what's new... lets see. Chloe is very close to taking a few steps on her own. If she hasn't already... I think Grandma and Grandpa might be concealing certain "firsts" so that mommy doesn't feel bad. And hey, I'm all for that.
 
Claire has turned into little miss "ham it up". If she makes a face or does something that makes us laugh, she will continue doing it.. over and over. First she would scrunch her nose, then she would breath in and out really fast, then she started tilting her head back and doing the nose scrunch thing and now she has learned to wink. Well it is more of a double eye blink than a single eye wink, but it is still pretty much the cutest thing you have ever seen.
 
  

Testing 1,2,3. Is anybody out there?

The weather was nice today and so we headed up to the lake for a bar-b-que with family and friends. We thought we would try and grab some nice "ten month" photos of the girls while we were up there, but Chloe wasn't diggin' it.

This was the first time she has really ever been put down on the ground with leaves and grass and stuff. I don't think she knew what to think. One thing was sure sure, she wasn't in the smiling mood. Though Claire was hamming it up as has become the norm lately.

The weather was crazy warm today so we decided to take a walk over to the park. We loaded up the girls in their stroller, put a leash on Sammie dog and headed out. We picked up some Port of Subs sandwiches on the way and had a nice picnic style lunch. Afterwards Claire and Chloe got their first hands on experience with playground equipment.
